Chapter 125
In the 1960s, in order to prevent the military threat from the United States and the Soviet Union, the country advocated that all people should be soldiers.
There were numerous militiamen all over the country. With so many people, the quality of the militiamen was uneven.
The militiamen selected by major factories were paid by the state and were able to follow the rules under the pressure of factory rules and leaders.
The other idle militiamen in the county were all idle. These militiamen usually had a wooden stick in their hands, and only the leader could hold an old wooden gun.
Although the wooden gun was inconspicuous, it could still be used to shoot people after loading it, and it could also fool ordinary people.
These idle militiamen gathered together on New Year's Day, drank some wine, ate peanuts, and drank cat urine. They didn't know how much they weighed. They were walking on Chang'an Avenue with sticks and bragging. It
was New Year's Day, and ordinary people didn't want to get into trouble. They would avoid these drunkards.
Unfortunately, a young couple was unlucky. They were walking on the road, and one of the militiamen didn't see the road clearly and bumped into them, causing the young man to stagger.
Not only did he bump into someone, he also pretended to be arrogant, jumped up and kicked the young man on the leg, cursing, "You blind bastard, you didn't see your grandfather walking on the road, you are blind!"
The young man was young and hot-tempered, and he couldn't lose in front of his wife, so he grabbed the militiaman's hand and said, "Bullshit, you walked without looking at the road, it's none of my business!" Okay
, this "I" is really getting me into trouble.
When had the militiaman whose hand was grabbed been scolded like this before? The triangular-eyed man glared at him fiercely, and called a few of his friends to surround the young man in a corner and started punching and kicking him.
The young man's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was defeated in a short while and was knocked to the ground by several people.
The young wife nearby saw her husband was almost unconscious from the beating, and she cried while pulling people away.
The more she cried, the more excited the militiamen became, and they kicked harder and harder. Seeing that the young man was bleeding, the young wife came to protect herself, and the militiaman who started the trouble looked at her with lustful eyes.
"Hey, this girl is pretty, with delicate skin and tender flesh. Sister, how about letting me touch her and I will let your dead dog go?" How
could the young wife be willing? She shook her head and cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. The more she cried, the more pitiful she looked.
The militiaman stretched out his hands to touch her, and the young man roared angrily and rushed over, and was kicked to the ground.
The arrogant militia stepped on the young man's hand and spat, "You bastard, you want to sneak attack me! Look at your behavior."
The militia was about to harass the young wife again. He smiled at the girl who was retreating with her shoulders hunched, turned his head and laughed with his companions: "Hey, she's still running back, let's see where she can run to?"
Several beasts laughed.
Seeing that the timid girl like a little white rabbit was about to be taken advantage of, passers-by lowered their heads and hurried past, fearing that they would accidentally run into a few plague gods.
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the militiaman was shot on the leg. He lay on the ground holding his leg and wailing.
The faces of several militiamen changed, and they looked back. The tall and strong Cheng Gang had a sullen face, and then met Gu Shian's pair of black eyes that were as sharp as a knife. Several people suddenly felt a chill running up their backs.
"Cheng, Deputy Director Cheng? "
One of the militiamen recognized Cheng Gang and spoke tremblingly.
Who in the entire Nan'an County Militia Corps didn't know Cheng Gang's name? And the man next to him didn't look like someone to be trifled with!
Cheng Gang was furious, his eyes red with anger. He had been in the army for half his life, and it had only been a few years since he retired. How could the good customs of the people have become like this?
The militiamen bullied the common people in the streets with guns, what would happen in the future!
Cheng Gang walked over with clenched fists, and with a few punches, he beat the militiamen to tears. The muscles he had trained for many years were no joke. Two of these militiamen are sons of cadres
. They usually rely on their family connections to bully and act arrogantly in the county. Similar things have happened more than once or twice.
The common people in the county complained, but they had no connections and could not afford to offend.
This time, seeing Cheng Gang dragging a few bastards and beating them up, they could not help but applaud on the side. This is called a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
The injured young couple was also helped up by the enthusiastic eldest lady. The militiaman who was hit in the calf just now was still howling on the ground.
Gu Doudou showed contempt on his little face, "My dad shot blanks, what's your name? "
Blanks? "
The militiaman quickly got up, pulled up his trousers and checked, and found that the calf that was hit was not injured, but just red.
Even so, seeing Gu Shi'an's black eyes, several militiamen were frightened and paralyzed. Judging from the skill of this man with a gun, he must have been from the army.
The drunkenness caused by the cat urine that several people drank disappeared, and they begged for mercy from Deputy Director Gu and Cheng Gang.
Begging for mercy was useless. The two fathers took their children and took a few bastards to the Nan'an County Public Security Bureau.
This matter was too big, and even the county leadership team knew about it. Who would have thought that the young couple who were beaten had a good family condition. There are connections behind them, so it doesn't matter even if someone deliberately shields them.
Those scums cried and screamed, and they were sent to labor reform before the New Year was over.
Although Yuanyuan and Ping'an didn't get to stroll around Ping'an Street, they were also very excited to see their fathers bravely punishing bad people.
Especially the little girl Yuanyuan, as soon as she got home, she clenched her little fists and chattered to Lin Yao and Li Xiujuan about the heroic deeds of her father and Uncle Cheng. She
was so happy to see Deputy Director Gu and Cheng Gangmei that the smile on her face didn't fade all day.
Li Xiujuan covered her mouth, looked around, and whispered to Lin Yao, "Look at these two men, they are like peacocks spreading their tails. Tsk, it's really unbearable to look at. "
Eh?
" Lin Yao looked carefully and also had an awkward look on his face. He couldn't help but patted Li Xiujuan on the shoulder and said seriously: "You will be fine once you get used to it."
Li Xiujuan: "..."
All right. On
the second day of the Chinese New Year, the tradition in Nan'an County is to eat dumplings.
Gu Doudou didn't want to eat dumplings and clamored to eat something else.
Ping'an and Yuanyuan were good kids. Seeing that only the little brats were making trouble, Lin Yao didn't get annoyed and spoke slowly.
"Don't want to eat dumplings?"
"Yeah!"
"Sure, as the old saying goes, if you work hard, you will have enough food and clothing. A man should cook for himself. There are eggs, flour and cabbage in the kitchen. You can cook whatever you want."
What's so difficult about this?
Gu Doudou has been trained by his mother since he was a child. The almost ten-year-old boy is good at cooking and porridge.
Gu Doudou raised an eyebrow at Ping An.
"Ping An, let's go and cook!"
Yuanyuan, who was reading a comic book in the house, hurried over.
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
Ping An smiled warmly and took Yuanyuan's fat hand to go to the kitchen together.
Li Xiujuan came over with her belly in her arms, looking suspicious, "Are the meals cooked by these three kids really edible?"
"If they can eat, they can eat. If they can't, don't we have two fathers to back them up?"
Lin Yao smiled.
Li Xiujuan clapped her hands happily, "Of course, my kid eats everything!"
Deputy Director Gu & Cheng Gang: "..."
The three children had clear division of labor. Gu Doudou was responsible for cutting vegetables and stirring the wok, Ping An washed vegetables and made fire, and Yuanyuan was responsible for being cute...
The three little ones made a lot of noise and really served two dishes for lunch, a plate of fried leeks and eggs, and a dish of fried cabbage and meat, both of which are the most common home-cooked dishes. Gu Shian and Cheng Gang also cooked a pot of dumplings.
The two families sat down to eat, and Li Xiujuan tasted it and it tasted really good.
"Oh, so our Doudou is the chef?"
"Hehe, just so-so."
"Yaoyao, how did you two teach him?"
"Nothing special, boys should always know how to do some housework."
Lin Yao said with a smile.
Yuanyuan was whispering to Li Xiujuan on the side. The little girl chattered and said clearly that her brother was a greedy cat who wanted to eat good food, but his mother wouldn't cook for him, and his father protected his mother, so he could only rely on himself to do things.
Li Xiujuan laughed so hard that she teased Lin Yao timidly.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Yao was thick-skinned and didn't care how Li Xiujuan laughed.
Deputy Director Gu felt a little hot for a rare time, so he coughed to cover it up and didn't say anything.
Cheng Gang smiled and stuffed a bite of egg into his mouth: "How great! Yaoyao is right. Our Ping'an has grown up too. He will look like a nerd if he just studies hard. I asked your old comrade to bring three wooden guns from the city, one for Ping'an and Doudou, and one for Yuanyuan. The three children will be trained at home later. Cheng'an, you are the eldest brother, you have to protect your younger brothers and sisters. There are a lot of bad people in this world, and Yuanyuan is so cute. Who knows if you will meet a bad kid one day and he will bully people on the road."
Ping'an nodded repeatedly.
After hearing this, Doudou quickly stuffed a dumpling into his mouth, puffing his lips, "Uncle Cheng! Don't worry, Ping'an holds Yuanyuan's hand every day, so we don't meet bad kids."
Gu Shi'an suddenly remembered what happened before, Doudou and Ping'an went to the kitchen to get bacon, and the little girl followed behind.
Just like when they were children, the three siblings had a lot of fun playing and fighting.
The Cheng family put the bacon high, and Yuanyuan was still short compared to her brothers. She couldn't reach it, so she asked brother Ping'an for help.
Gu Doudou ran over and teased her, "Little sister, you have short legs, how can you pick up the bacon? If you can't pick it up, you will fall down."
Yuanyuan was very convinced, "Who said I can't pick it up."
The little girl wanted to prove it to him, and she jumped several times but couldn't get it.
Gu Doudou held his belly and laughed.
Ping An came over and unceremoniously gave the brat a roasted chestnut with his fingers. Gu Doudou covered his head and screamed in pain.
Yuanyuan smiled happily and hugged Ping An's arm and acted coquettishly, "Brother Ping An is still good to me."
Gu Doudou complained, "Ping An, you are a little partial!"
Ping An glanced at him, "Stop making trouble, Aunt Lin Yao will be here soon."
When the brother and sister heard it, they hurriedly picked up the basket and pretended to be busy, for fear of annoying their mother and getting into trouble.
The more Gu Shian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The dumpling in his mouth suddenly tasted a little sour.
At night, Deputy Director Gu looked at the little girl's puffy face on the small bed, and the pancakes that tossed and turned in bed when they slept at night.
Lin Yao couldn't help it anymore, and kicked over and said angrily, "What are you doing! Why are you so crazy that you don't want to sleep at night? If you don't want to sleep, just go outside!"
Gu Shian sighed and sat up with the quilt in his arms, "I just can't sleep if I think about Dou Dou."
"What's there to not sleep about? It's just that Yuanyuan and Ping'an have a good relationship. You can just eat radishes and not worry about anything."
Lin Yao rolled up the quilt, closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep, but suddenly opened them again and looked at him uncertainly, "I say, you are not worried that Ping'an will target your daughter, are you?"
Deputy Director Gu wiped his face and looked at him, "Don't you think so?"
Lin Yao blinked, thinking of the love that Cheng Gang and his wife had shown for the little daughter in recent years. She was not very sure in her heart. After all, if the daughter-in-law had not rescued Ping'an who was begging on the street, the future situation of the child would be unknown. Cheng Gang and his wife might be grateful to the grandmother for saving their son, or they might love the whole family. Besides, how old is her daughter-in-law? How old is Ping'an? How old is she? How is it possible?
The mother thought about it for a while and said this to Gu Shian.
Gu Shian sneered and said to his wife, "Have you forgotten that when Datou was in his teens, he was thinking about Chunmei?"
Lin Yao: "......."
Although it is true, how many boys are as daring as Datou who want to take away other people's girls when they are only in their teens?
I don't think there are many.
Lin Yao yawned and fell asleep.
Gu Shian still sat there with his eyes squinted.
*
After the second day of the Chinese New Year, it was all about eating and drinking. The Gu family lived in Nan'an County until the tenth day of the Chinese New Year. During these days, the children traveled all over Nan'an County and had a lot of fun eating, drinking and having fun.
Seeing that Gu Shian and his wife's New Year's holiday was coming to an end, the family was also preparing to return home.
Although Cheng Gang's family was very reluctant to leave, they also knew that all good things must come to an end.
Gu Shi'an bought a train for 9 a.m. on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. The sun was shining brightly these days, but it was still cold. Li Xiujuan, with tears in her eyes, packed Doudou Yuanyuan's favorite picture books, favorite snacks and candies, and his daily clothes and shoes into a small bag and gave it to the little boy early the next morning.
The next morning, the roosters on the streets of Nan'an County were crowing one after another, the sky and earth were like ink, and the thin morning light of autumn and winter poured down instantly. The three members of Cheng Gang's family said goodbye to the old Gu family. The little ones were reluctant to leave, holding their heads and crying, the kind of thunder without rain. Gu Doudou was the most dramatic, crying the loudest, causing the sisters-in-law around to take their children to look outside, wanting to see whose child was crying, crying like a pig...
The old Gu family was wrapped up tightly when they went out, unlike when they came with big bags and small bags, they were much more relaxed on the way home, just carrying the family's change of clothes.
Li Xiujuan usually didn't go out in winter, but today her son insisted on sending them out, but when she went out, the biting cold wind blew, and her legs hurt.
Yuanyuan stretched out her hand to massage Li Xiujuan for a while, and surprisingly, her legs felt much more comfortable.
Then the little girl told Xiujuan's auntie that she would come to visit Cheng Gang and his auntie in the future, and asked them to take care of themselves at home.
Cheng Gang was moved by this, and he agreed with tears in his eyes.
In this way, the old Gu family set off on their journey home with peace of mind.
